That's incorrect. If you have CEF on globally that enables it
for every interface in the box that is capable of doing CEF.
You should NEVER modify the per interface fastswitching/CEF flags
via the "ip route-cache <blah>" commands unless you do it just
as a SHORT TERM workaround for a switching path bug.
